On Saturday, August 18th, 7pm, at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly, Toronto-based cartoonist Georgia Webber presents Dumb, a collection of comics about her experience with chronic voice loss.
ABOUT DUMB:

Webber adroitly uses the comics medium to convey the practical hurdles she faced as well as the fear and dread that accompanied her increasingly lonely journey to regain her life.
